Animation:

Reference:

Mononoke walks on a threating way, her clothes floating behind her.
Animation:

Hurt

Mononoke gets back a little bit and protects her face.

[LEFT] Bloody slashes

Mononoke attacks with her weapons, on a melee range. This skill have 3 variations, working as a basic attack.
1st Variation:

2nd Variation:

3rd Variation:

[MIDDLE] Scything leap

Mononoke dashes in a straight line, dealing damage in all its trajectory and at the end of it, rooting the enemies, but being a light damage skill. Effect still needs to be developed.
The first part of the skill is a dash in a straight line with a set range, this dash will do light damage. When she reaches the end of the line, she does a circular cut, also dealing light damage but stuning the enemies caught in the AOE.
Inspiration:

Animation:

[RIGHT] Spykes of pain

Mononoke creates an (effect that is not decided yet) on a circular area around here, dealing medium damage and healing her(based on either her missing health or the number of enemies hit).

[SPACE] Sacrifice

Mononoke deals damage around her in a big circular area, she first casts the skill for 3 seconds, being suceptible to damage, until the last second, where she becomes unvunerable. At the end of the cast, she does heavy damage(fixed amount) to every enemy on the area, stunning them for 1.5s, also dealing damage to her(based on current health, 50% or so).

OPTIONAL

[E] TAUNT

Mononoke cuddles with her tail.

[Q]/Shift Spiritual form

Mononoke turns into a spirit, becoming "invisible"(her foot steps will be shown, both to enemies and allies), while in this form, she receives increased movement speed. She can leave this form by entering combat(receiving/dealing damage or casting a skill), after that, she receives increased damage and lifesteal.
